Hi, I’m Rich

I help people grow high-trust communities & decentralised organisations.

  • decentralising authority in an organisation

  • creating satsifying community for youself and others

Online Course

My awesome wife Nati & I made an online course sharing what we learned from the last decade working with decentralised organisations in 20+ countries:

Patterns For Self Organising Teams

Writing

I write about the subtle social dynamics you've experienced in groups but have probably never quite put into words before. You can find my writing on Substack, Medium, and Twitter. I'm a contributing author to the Enspiral book Better Work Together, and have a half-finished book about decentralised organisations available for purchase.

Music

Sound at the Speed of Sunset is my ambient music project. So far my favourite release was this collaboration with cellist Boondlllx. You can listen to my first album on Spotify, or buy it on Bandcamp. Follow my Soundcloud or YouTube for frequent updates
